From Renders to Reality
A key part of our house is the new central courtyard, which connects the indoor living room up front with the kitchen in the rear. As this is where most of our days will be spent, achieving a well-proportioned space is critical.
During the design phase, we relied heavily on 3-D renderings of these spaces to give us a sense of proportion. Since construction began, we’ve had our fingers crossed that these renders would translate into the desired reality. With the bulk of the new walls and roofs now up, we can finally see if we were right.
Here are some images - both how things look now and how we envisaged them with the renders. First up, looking north toward the indoor media room.
Now from the other direction, looking south toward the kitchen. The builder has yet to punch an opening in the end wall to form the doorway into the kitchen.
Obviously we still have a ways to go. Now that we are able to stand in the new outdoor living space, however, we are thrilled that it’s working out so well.
